@ Dejomy : Call up PwC (01 271 1700), ask to speak with their HR manager- explain that you're in the current batch for NYSC and you'd like the opportunity to serve with the firm, I think an approach that direct will get you further than dropping a CV to serve there.

Best of luck!

Thanks la!, i visited the site and their 'Brand New Car Sales' page is "Coming soon!"

Any other leads?

Okay, So what time is the test?

What's the worst that could happen to a gate crasher?

So, I wanna buy a mint car (Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Ford) but the lowest in range that they offer with an automatic transmission. How much do these go for?
I'm having a hard time finding car prices online.(Except for the Peugeot 307 for 3.7m
Or does anyone know of a reliable car sales person that can price cars?

ObaMan- i was in platoon 2. Yea, the platoon that did the least and scored th eleast in any competition,    hehehe I'm @ PwC. which LG r u in?

UcheTobi- Ahhh,  does your job know you are going 4 NYSC? if so, then they will give you your CD days but you have to know within yourself how much responsibility you have to manage and if you can do it while missing CD days and General CD days. To make it easy for you, first find out which CD groups are held on Fridays in your local government, and in camp, join that group so that once a month you can combine your gereral CD with regular CD. A friend of mine continued with the same company through her service year and she works even on her CD days and its rough, she's not seen as a corper (except for payroll purposes) and she's worked HARD! so talk to your oga and explain what your picking up in addition to your job there as per NYSC responsibilities. AND they are getting tough in my LG- 2 people I know in Batch A got their service periods extended for not doing CD. So think it over and if you must get poste dto some school and resume your job after, do what u gotta, because so far, the most stress has been after camp!

Are you a foreign student? Or you really are hoping for the best possible posting? I was posted to Lagos & I had a blast in camp,  but i in hindsight can admit that I mght have been what they called "ghost corper" LoL i wasn't in the kit completely- ever. Chilled in mammy market, guiness stand, and went off camp for for food all the time, clubbing on weekends. I don't think i ever made it to that parade ground before 7am. Haha

But i know people in the same camp whose experience was the total opposite.
I know i had a good outlook about the whole 3 weeks,  i kept in mind that the (terrible) conditions etc werent created specially to torment me and that we were all going through it so i just dealt the best i could,

It helped that the matron/security got decamped after pulling a girl down the stairs. 2005, Batch B Lagos camp was madd!! Rechargable will be necessary, Loads of white tees, white shorts (money, as much as you can afford to bring) everything is avaliable at a 400% markup! (10 naira to tipex one line or staple - i felt cheated so once or twice i would tipex/staple then hold out a 1000 note. Needless to say, he didnt have change!!) Camp costs!- from getting your uniform (which will not fit) resized to paying 100 bucks each time you want to use the bathroom!!! Get there early but be prepared to wait in queues forEVER! I realized on the second day that even if im th elast, i'll still get registered so i just chilled, met and gisted with people and eventually everything got done (Plus noone questions why you are in muffty for like a week until all were registered)

The people made the time pass very fast. Some of the best people i know now, i met in camp! But beware also of that whole secondary school he-said/she-said bull$h!t,  You'd think people would have grown up by service year,

Anywho, just keep an open mind, and you should have a good time.
The camp is fun compared to the year after, the Local govt visits, CD, Work, etc all sooo stressful, so again, i urge you to enjoy the 3 weeks because after that, it's no joke!
